Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 cup kelp noodles
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the kale and celery under cold running water. Pat dry with clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
- Remove the tough stems from the kale and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Rinse the kelp noodles under cool water and drain completely. If the noodles are too long, gently cut them into more manageable lengths.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine chopped celery, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whisk ingredients together until well incorporated to create the sweet celery dressing.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 3-4 minutes until leaves become slightly wilted and bright green, stirring occasionally.
- Remove kale from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Add the rinsed kelp noodles and gently toss to combine.
- Drizzle the sweet celery dressing over the kale and kelp noodles, ensuring even coating. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately while warm, garnishing with additional fresh ground pepper if desired.
Tips
- Massage the kale briefly before cooking to break down its tough fibers and enhance digestibility
- Use fresh, crisp celery for the most vibrant dressing flavor
- If kelp noodles seem too firm, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes before using
- For extra protein, consider adding grilled tofu or chickpeas to the bowl
- Choose organic ingredients when possible to maximize nutritional benefits
- Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing
- Always taste and adjust seasonings just before serving to ensure perfect flavor balance
